Director Statement

I am interested in all forms of media. I believe that by blending different forms of art such as audio, visuals, storytelling, etc. you can create a more powerful piece than by using one art form alone. Each project I make is different, and I've found that each person takes something different out them. Our current culture, and my generation, is prone to listening to video media. I want to create films that have something positive to say. This film has been a labor of love. I feel honored by the acceptances of the people that helped to make it a reality and am very excited that the film will reach many audiences and share a story they may not have known before. Before I made this film, I remember seeing "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". This film touched me, It challenged me. I feel passionate for "Igor and Gashta" and the world the characters live in. My hope is to carry inspiration to others.
